last counties that hadn't given us any data but we're still waitg for quite a bit of vote at the innishe wasn't suppose tuo[ma lee dough. in miami-dade and broward. the confidence is through the roof. they know some things that not this may be one we want to wl t everybody in washington or new yo things is that the overwhelming majority of the because it is that close. >> in terms of florida, poll votes from this county, lucas wo the miami-dade suburb of west kendall say it c b county, which at this point is voting 73% for barack obama has dozens of people there still not been sense iting inside. is that obama has a lot of pro oby womanq similar reports coming in from country walk. but voting in downtown miami has apparently ended, according to local miami media. you anything man from this district, just announced that ohio is going to specific? other than you wereabout al gr/ put barack obama over the top. obvisly that's a confi atement. we don't knowl t talking about west kendall.separates east and that she believes are coming. west kendall a growing and now here's the said. thriving becoming a little more dustrial heartland of ameri co hispanic over the years. it goes back to the story of

this election which could be demographics. t what i see in miami-dade obama tonight. county, it's all about margins. pennsylvania, michigan, we're not quite at 200,000 for wisconsin. comes as the president here. well. and a point that making is there's still a large cuban vote, but it was 140,00look, th that this campaign the dra margins arehis convention when this democratic than they were four years ago n ticket started speaking confidently about bailout as aitive thing and miami-dade countt that really affected these could be alarming if you're a states. >> thank you very much for that, john. republican. i already told you the orange we're going to goi to steve in county sto up in orlando. virginia. that's a demographics story. as you've been watching these states and you're sitting 234 hillsborough was supposed to be the middle of virginia which is still too close to call. the quintessential swing -- what's your view of theation on? >> i have to interrupt you for a >> we'renmanassass. call. for a state that we have not previously been able to zthiss about 45 minutes outside characterize. nbc news projects that the washington, d.c., and this is winner in minnesota is president there waiting for right now. obama. this is a trend. when i was on i talked this had previously been described as too early, but with

about how obama had gte about obama leading, it has now been 0 vote margin this region of the state 2008. called for president obama. his statewide marge was about youere in hillsborough county 235,000. before i ripped you away. >> that's fine. i want to show i something about you have only partial returns from some of the countiys around raw votes a of how does the oba . democrats are saying com campaign do this. when t this, they think about raw votes. hepresident's raw votes combined with they also point to in hillsborough. if you look at the results that have come insofar from the he's already got more vote this state, both sides can p t time than he did in 2008. some things that could encourage the raw number he got was 272. them. romney did well cl granted some of this is population growth. but the point has always been, and ren there's been a lot of country and southwestern virginia, maybe not quite as well as rli do. people that have been questioning the party id of go he did well in chesapeake, who's a reay encouraging news for look like 2008. all of the new over obama earlier, and that is in the country were less white than the richmond suburbs. the national- than what the nationple was in 2008. they say republicans needed to all of these new voters were win by 25,000 votes or . think going to be voters that were

more likely to be democratic completely it was about 12,000 . voters than republican voters. hillsborough is a good way of but again, we're ryht now, showing that. they've increased the number of votes. arlington county, wre we are the margin is the same but the or near where we are in new voters seem to be leaning rincipals will yomat obama won0 towards the president. >> we're obviously looking towards the details of what we have on florida, but florida, the bottom%k line here is that it's too to call. eturns partially todd akin, the missouri swing county near here. republican senate candidate who lost to claire mccaskill. this may even go all t: way to absentee ballots if you believe let's go to his concession what i'm hearingig now. >> wow. speech tonight. >> they suffer of cancer, loss well if 80% in still too call. of a job, house, loved ones and looking at those splits in key they press on. backbone of amer. counties. virginia seems like a nail biter. we are expecting toachusetts se when called, they'll risk their lives for their country or their community, but they don't think of themselves as particularly special. they don't look t;o government elizabeth warren very shortly. this is ms$dhu÷6b for special deals, but they do think that the government should

respect our hard-earned tax dollars that it collects. in short, they love god, they love their families and they love our countryg. now, i also want to tell you not only who they are, but i want to you know, we believe that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness come from all mighty god, not an all mighty government.nd we also believe that our creator made us one people. there is one class if this country, americans. we of america's great strength is

our faith in a loving god who allows grajus people the freedom to pursue the unique dreams that each of them have. and we believe that the constitution is not a list of suggestions. we believe that order people built america. we believe you bui at. and if you tell americans it won't work or can't be done, then you better get out of the way, because we those kinds of things in america. we believe that the world is safer when america is strong. and a strong america sends hope to people around the world and fear to tie rants. in the face of tsunamis -- failed governments resort to

lies. we believe that our government owes us the truth. we also believe that it's excusable to betray fell americans to terrorists when they could have been rescued. >> that was the senate opponent that claire mckaskill wanted most. that was before todd akin made his comments about legitimate rape. we have a poll in the missouri race, nbc news projects that the winner will be mitt romney. looking at that todd akin concession spelmech, chri you were talking aut how he has to give up his house seat in order to run that senate seat. he's now not only not going to be in the senate, he's not going

to be in the house. >> you know, the great concession speeches are personal, they're about the people who have worked their beds -- butts off for you. edguy, got involved with some marital problems. when he lost he said i did not cry on the mountain. i will not cry in the valley. >>e was a republican. >> he was great. >> there will be a great one tonight in beb kerrey losing this race. >> which are usuly a concession speech you least your victor and the pevern who beat you. you don't start giving policy statements. maybe he didn't get the memo, he was defeated. >> why bother waiting for a concession speech. >> you're supposed to be

poignant, wonderful, thank you everybody, good night. >> i have something important to say. the call in minnesota, to barac this past hour, if you add this to michigan and pennsylvania, that means that david axelrod does not have to shave off helps moustache of 40 the bet. you should ask him about it. >> do you have one of those things in your brain that tickles you to remind you. >> david axelrod is with us now you can ask him about it. >> give us a couple of optional tours to the rest of the night states you expect to report fairly soon and throughout the night and where your candidate might go from here to victory. >> in terms of the states, chris, obviously we're looking at the same things you're

looking at. when you have very close vote is, the uncounted vote is. much ofcomes from miami-dade. that's a strong area for us so we're going to want to wait and see what happens when all those votes are counted. we feel there are pockets of strength for us in virginia that are outstanding. ohio, we like the pattern that we see. it's going to be close as we always anticipated. but it's been a slow count in ohio, partly becse the lines have been very long. that's true in virginia as well. so get to vote as they should. so for a variety of factors, the counts have been slow. and we're going to wait and see but we're very hopeful about what the oit come is going to be. >> one thing i think is impressive so far, if you look at the map, we're looking at the blue at the top and the middle, president obama has done very well it seems to me what we used

to call the rust belt. >> yes. >> tell us about the policies that led to that resurgence i think you would have to call it. >> first of all the decision that he made and i was there when he made it and it didn't look like a good political decision at the time to intervene to save the american auto industry, was absolutely essential to that region. when you look at a generated by the auto industry, the fact that the auto industry has come roaring back has been a key of the economic revival of that state and the president's initiatives to revive manufacturing through various tax credits and export initiatives and so ?on. and on the other side you have governor romney whose history had people concern on outsourcing, and particularly on opposing the auto bailout that was so central to always looked at the

industrial midwest as a great opportunity for us in this election and i think the results tonight are bearingout. >> one last where i grew up is pennsylvania, you decided when i said iewed the vice president was something very powerful. you guys knew that the other side, romney, was going to try to head fake or whatever going up there. but you held back and decided no the to send either candidate up into pennsylvania. what did you know at that time about the situation in pennsylvania that gave you that confidence to leave i alone? >> we saidt the time, you tknow, you have a 1.1 milln vote democratic registratio advantage in the state. some of the same issues had dog. in the western half of the state you h whether he's actually going to stand up for middle class people and working class people in the eastern part of th state and

the philadelphia suburbs there were real concerns about his poon health and choice and on planned parenthood. so we thought we had great strength there and ability to resist. ey that state. xpand the d at the whole f we're field and we've got the money to do it, let's see if we can shake something lose and they just couldn't. x> great to have you on toso fa. we 'be back to you later tonight. >> thank you, good for you. >> congratulations on keeping on keeping your moustache. >> i appreciate that, too. >> let's watch scarvq=fto mass where elizabeth warren is addressing her supporters. >> thank you. thank you.

this victory belongs to you. you did this. you did this. for every family that has been chipped squeezed and hammered, we're going to fight for a level flaing people back to work. you bet, that's what we're going to do. yes. to all theinessjóa8 owners who are tired of the system rigged against them, we're going to hold the big guys accountable. to all the seniors who deserve to retire with the securityhey earned, we're g to make sure your medicare and are protected, and that millionaires and

billionaires pay their fair share. >> i'm going to interrupt. virginia senate race had been too close to call nbc news projects that tim rge allen, ag. virginia at the presidential level is still too close to call. but in the senate race, tim s kaine has defeated george allen. up next polls a closed in five more states including california. this is msnbc's continuing coverage of election 2012. we'll be back right after th
